I got sick so bad I went from 220 pounds to 170 in five weeks. I had to look deep in to the drug records to find it. There was a very rare side effect that was below the threshold for reporting. It only occured in two people inthe trails. I finally found a forum where just two other people had this side effect. By that time I was on week four convinced I was going to die. They said their symptoms started to go away after the sixth week. Sure enough I finally could stand without throwing up and had a appetite in the sixth week of that hell.

The symptoms were persistent 24/7 nausea accompanied by dry heaves when I stood up.
No apetite at all. I had to force food down and if it was more complex than a cracker it came straight back up. This went on for six weeks. I went ten years before I nerved up enough to try another non stimulant ADHD med.

    A quibble of words in that religion tends to take concepts and the accompanying words in order thread them in to its dogma. It is good vs bad. However even the word bad can sometime convey something that isn't bad at all. Evil though is clear and concise. It is way less prone to misunderstanding than a less than evil word like bad.

    Until I got another cat I would have some smaller lizards hanging in my house. I left them alone and they never bothered me. The cat though treats like toys until he nearly kills them. I like the cat but he is much higher maintenance than a nice small lizard.

    They are. Those that say evil doesn't exist are clearly naive. Good and evil are human constructs for dealing with human behavior. The idea that it comes from without is what evil humans do to hide theirs.
